Re-sharing an article I recently wrote for The Quint on housing discrimination and the ongoing “othering” of Muslims in India.
Residents of the society reportedly ran a hate campaign against the Muslim woman and the Hindu woman, who lived in Salabatpura, after she sold her property to a Muslim woman. The buyer, also a resident of Salabatpura, had even paid a token amount for the purchase.

My piece on the Indian Supreme Court’s complicity in enabling Hindutva’s revanchist politics behind mosque surveys. Full article here -
Commentary | What was once perceived as political exclusion is now being ratified and institutionalised through court decisions, highlighting a disturbing intersection of law and ideology that worsens the marginalisation of Muslims in India.

Reposting two of my recent pieces for The Quint on the Indian judiciary’s aggrandising relationship with Hindutva, and the construction of the Muslim “other.” 1. 2.
I am moving impeachment motion in the Parliament in accordance with Art 124(4) of the constitution for the removal of this Justice namely Shekhar K Yadav, a sitting Judge in Hon’ble High Court of Judicature at Allahabad on the charges mentioned in the notice. I need signatures of 100 members to move this motion. More than 7 members including @asadowaisi sahab, Shri Rajkumar Roat Hon’ble MP from Rajasthan, Shri Sudhama Prasad ji Hon’ble MP from Bihar, Jinab Mohibbullah Sahab Hon’ble MP from U.P and Jinab Ziau Rahman sahab, Hon’ble MP from U.P signed it and I thank them for their support and signatures. I also talked with the members from @INCIndia , @samajwadiparty , @arivalayam and @AITCofficial who assured me that they will sign and support the motion after consultation with their respective party leaderships. I am hopeful that they will support this motion because these are the parties who believe in the idea of India and it Principles and Values.
